a specific user or group from the domain tree.

Storage from your Active Directory domain. Select the checkbox in the title bar to select all the

Synchronizing with the Active Directory Controller
You can poll the Active Directory controller at any time to check for new users and groups on the controller,
so you can add them to your ix4-300d. This keeps your ix4-300d up to date with any group changes on the
controller and indicates if any users on the controller were deleted or promoted.
Click Synchronize with the Active Directory Controller.
